Able to plug my Wii into The 22 inch Acer Monitor?

I agree with the above poster. I used a vdigi component to VGA transcoder to hook the wii up to my lcd monitor, until I bought an HDTV about a week ago. As for audio, I got myself an RCA (white / red connector) to 3.5mm pc speakers adapter. Thats really the only way you can do it. P.S...

Java-------> C++

I took a course at my university dealing with Java. I learned all about object oriented design and a ton of new programming techniques, which would be hard to replicate in simple C. However over the Summer I decided to make the move to C++ to make some DirectX programs, because of speed. I found...

DirectX9 C++ Questions

A vertex buffer is just a directx structure defined by LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER9. Anyways instead of say allocating vertexes in system memory, it is a place to allocate vertexes in graphics card memory so that they can be drawn directly without going through system memory. Im not exactly sure if...

DirectX9 C++ Questions

Hello everybody. Hopefully somebody out there can help me with this problem I am having. I have searched extensively online for an answer but nobody seems to come quite close. I am trying to design a simple 2d physics engine that can handle anywhere from 500 to 1000 simple circles on...

Collision Detection in Frames

Ok so... after some experimenting and some work with threads I think I may have come up with a solution that I'm comfortable with based on the previous posts. Basically, I use a thread and have that thread sleep an amount of time based on my fps value. Secondly on each frame we do a collision...

Collision Detection in Frames

Ah yes, SAT. That has come up many times in my reading, and that particular article. This information is good, and eventually I will implement the SAT to detect collisions, however I just needed to get it straight how collision responses worked in reference to animation. Basically the method I...

Collision Detection in Frames

Thanks for the responses. See, the problem I am running into is that im using a timer to adjust the frame rate. It is java so I am creating the timer then using the actionPerformed function to call a repaint and to also update the screen position for each frame. If I use pixels per...

Collision Detection in Frames

Hello everybody! I'm not new to the forums, I look at them often, however I post very little. I have a question on simple collision detection between two rectangles. I currently do not care about how one can test for a collision, I simply care about the redrawing aspect of two objects projected...

I finally upgraded my video card, but...

Turn the settings down? :P Its just that. BF2 NEEDS 2 gigs of ram for high settings. I remember playing on those settings with one gig, like you are with a high end video card. Lagged hard with all the texture loading. I bought 2 gigs of ram and the problem went 100% away. The lag in the game...

Get your PhysX card now...

I believe that they would allow the body lying dead on the ground to be flopped around in bf2, rather than you just running over it and exactly nothing happening. Plus you cant keep those bodies there forever, because they do add up, they have to disappear over a period of time, or youre just...
